Dalton Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Dalton? Now could not be a better time, with just 316 residential dwellings it's a highly sought after location. The average property price in this area is in the region of $908,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $79,000 to $2,259,000. The aproximate distance to the coast is 127 Km.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Incomes in Dalton are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in Dalton provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. Medium density in Dalton necessitates a mix of lifestyle options for housing, shops, open areas, and facilties. Where this is available, demand is high and growth ensured. Lower than average industry presence in Dalton we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past. Post-COVID and the growth in working from home has lessened the demand for local employment options. This may make Dalton a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
